Gemini Open Sources Hibari

Available under the Apache license, Hibari (meaning "Cloud Bird" in Japanese) is a no-sql database geared toward "Big Data" applications.

"Hibari can be used in Cloud Computing Applications such as web mail, Social Networking Services (SNS), and other services requiring storage of tera-bytes and peta-bytes of new daily data," the press release said.

By open sourcing Hibari, "Gemini expects its commercially-proven, non-relational database technology to be used in a variety of fields, including enterprise private cloud computing, digital entertainment, e-commerce, financials, and telemetries."
